Background Transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) is one of the most common neonatal respiratory disease and its symptoms usually begins in the first few hours after birth. The volume of fluid intake according to the neonate's conditions varies. We aimed to compare the restricted fluids volume with standard fluids volume in treatment of neonates with TTN. Materials and Methods: This clinical ...

The statistics could have been extended to see how many children will be harmed if used hypotonic fluids compared to reduced volume isotonic fluids. The number needed to harm in this trial (to cause hyponatremia), if using hypotonic fluids, would be 1 in 4 at 24 hours (95% CI 1.9-15.2) and 48 hours (95% CI 1.9-11.8), which is higher compared to an earlier study [2]. The absolute risk increases ...

children, similar to adults, are required to fast before general anesthesia in order to reduce  the volume and acidity of stomach contents. it is thought that npo regulations reduce the risk of regurgitation and aspiration of gastric contents during surgery. recent developments have encouraged a shift from the standard 'nil by mouth from midnight' fasting policy to more relaxed regime...

A finite-volume method is applied to the numerical simulation of flows of viscoelastic fluids in the benchmark confined-cylinder problem under creeping flow conditions. The fluids are modeled using the Oldroyd-B constitutive equation, the calculation of the polymer stress contribution is carried out using the logconformation methodology [1] and the results are compared with data using the stand...

AIM To investigate the effect of fasting times for clear fluids and solids/non-clear fluids on gastric content volume using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). METHODS Pediatric patients undergoing diagnostic MRI under deep propofol sedation, with the stomach located within the area of diagnostic study, were included in this clinical observational study. According to standard institutional guid...

Volume kinetics is a method used for analyzing and simulating the distribution and elimination of infusion fluids. Approximately 50 studies describe the disposition of 0.9% saline, acetated and lactated Ringer's solution, based on repeated measurements of the hemoglobin concentration and (sometimes) the urinary excretion. The slow distribution to the peripheral compartment results in a 50-75% l...

BACKGROUND The effect of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) can be modulated by fluid injection. PURPOSE To evaluate the potential of different fluids to modulate the effect of bipolar RFA in an ex-vivo liver model. MATERIAL AND METHODS A bipolar RFA system with an internally cooled needle-shaped applicator (20-mm active tip) was used to induce coagulation lesions in ex-vivo porcine liver. Prior...
